Letter to AARP

Worldwide, livestock generate more greenhouse gases than all forms of
transportation combined: 18 percent vs. 13 percent. If per your
suggestion, each member eats one-quarter less meat for savings of $169
and collective greenhouse gas reduction of 1.9 million tons, just
imagine the huge benefit (in savings, health, and environment) there
would be if animal-derived products were eliminated.

As for that popular saying “everything in moderation,” according to
former surgeon, researcher, and clinician at the Cleveland Clinic,
Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D. – author of Prevent and Reverse Heart
Disease – in many cases “moderation kills.”

We adopted a plant-based lifestyle (vegan) over twenty years ago and
the benefits have been enormous.

Sincerely,
Frank and Mary Hoffman

"Joyful Curmudgeon"
An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the
same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the
world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true
peace and compassion.
